About Me



In my spare time (ha ha, what's that)
I play bass in Flounder ,
Upright Bass in Stars and Garters
and I used to in Porch Band only some of the time.
I was also in Starboard Bough but it fell apart after too much heavy drinking!.
The first band I was in was Amber Inn

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mike Watt - I got to talk to him at a couple of Cattle Club shows, but I'd really like to hang with him for a day. What a true fucking bass player. ..
